I was first exposed to this guide when one of the members of my dnd group chose to be a Ghillie Dhu fey and I really enjoyed the character. Since then this little guide has become an invaluable addition to character creation among our group of roughly 6-8 people that all play together in different games.
In the last 2 monthes I've bought my own copy (as have our other players) and we've been playing one shots and just trying out the different races. I still havent' worked my way through all of them but I can say that the builds all seem to be balanced, and this can add something really fresh and exciting to your game if you're going to be playing in the FeyWild, but even having 1 or 2 in your party can be fun too. I am currently playing as a PC in a game with an ornery Kokoma and a impatient Alseid Lar Fey and we've had to come up with unique work arounds as PC's for the races different body types as well as some other challenges have come up with these two races not having humanoid bodies but still having to complete missions.
I'm looking forward to playing a Tani or Kitsune in a game soon, and I also am adding some of the other races into a game as NPCs too.
As far as the book itself it's easy to read, no spacing issues, and is modeled to look like the players handbook. The stat blocks for NPC creatures are VERY detailed and the artwork is beautiful.
For nearly 50 pages of stellar content I'm suprised this isn't priced higher on here. It's a well balanced and enjoyable addition to a DM or Players collection.
